Laura123 0 Share Posted October 25, 2005 I want to try differin as my acne is mainly blackheads/whiteheads which sometimes get inflamed, i also want to see if it helps any pore size/scars which i have.Will i get an itial breakout such as with retin-a, because i keep putting off getting it although im sure it will help my acne/red marks better than my current regimen but im scared out of breaking out!

letterrip 0 Share Posted October 25, 2005 I started using Differin almost a month ago and have had the worst breakout ever. I'm debating whether or not to stop, just because it looks so much worse than it did before I started. Hopefully someone who has been through the entire first three months of Differin can post their input! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

legislatorgov 0 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Differin works differently on different people. When I took it, I took it with an oral antibiotic. When you're on differen, I recommend a good moisturizer. My skin was really really dry when I was on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
